I used to use the Green, Brown Black ...Dear Sarah, <br />I used to use the Green, Brown Black recipe for my compost:<br />Green: any cuttings, peelings, etc. and egg shells for calcium.<br />Brown: Old leaves(cut with a weed wacker into a recycled 45 gal molasses drum), grass clippings that have air dried for a week or more, spread out thinly on top of the cut grass, and any used straw I could get my hands on.<br />Black: at least one-two inches of surface soil from any of my garden beds, wheel barrowed to the compost.<br />Never once did I have a smell, rats or lousy compost. I miss that BLACK GOLD so much, it's practically insufferable. I can only tell you that I had a 3 part compost and it was the BEST Mother's Day gift ever!!! In fact, I would give up EVERYTHING to go back to that 7 year RETREAT even now.<br />Good luck and happy diggin!<br />MelanieMelanie Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261067897401717392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683373180572839029.post-13015496465130646502012-03-22T10:05:42.977-07:002012-03-22T10:05:42.977-07:00I compost all my paper waste.
